Ninen-zaka and Sannen-zaka (二年坂・三年坂) 二年坂・三年坂
Whoever falls here dies within three years, the saying goes: people used to climb it carrying a lucky gourd.
The two cobbled slopes that link Kiyomizu-dera to Kodai-ji, which began as pilgrimage routes. They are the heart of the Sannenzaka protected district, chosen on 4 September 1976 as one of the 重要伝統的建造物群保存地区 (districts of traditional buildings protected by law): 5.3 hectares then, 8.2 after the Ishibei-koji lane was added in 1996.
